I removed anything that could be potentially sharp in there and put a sponge over the intake so I don’t think he’s getting caught on something. Parameters all seem normal, and I just put in some Indian almond leaves. It’s good to hear that people use salt regularly and I have a refractometer...

I have a Betta that came from the store with pretty ragged fins. I decided to treat this with aquarium salt and it worked like magic, you could see new fin growth and repair visually and he looked perfect. A few water changes later so most of the salt was gone his fins started looking ragged...

I will order that today! Thank you

I’m using the API test strips for the nitrates / nitrites and APIs ammonia kit as well. This tank has been running for almost 2 months now and I dose it with nutrafin cycle on water changes so I’m not sure why the reading I get is always 0. Maybe I will try a different brand of testing to...

Housing: How many gallons is your tank? 5 Does it have a filter? Yes Does it have a heater? Yes What temperature is your tank? 80f Does your tank have an air stone or other type of aeration?no Does your Betta have tank mates? What kind?no Food: What food brand do you use?aqueon Do you feed...

No that Betta unfortunately passed away before the medication you suggested arrived, the aquarium salt I had put in must have not been enough for him. When thinking about what might have happened more is I’m guessing a food pellet got stuck in the intake of the filter and he tried to get it...

Thank you for all the information, I learned a lot. I see the malachite green available online so I’ll order some now. Hopefully it gets here in time

Thank you for the quick reply. My best guess for the neons is the water just wasn’t compatible, I noticed it was quite hard, the PH at that time was probably closer to 7.5-8(saw this afterwards) The betta seemed curious about them but not aggressive, at least while I was watching. Learned my...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). Betta fish Noticed 2 days ago his lips looked abnormally large, then it was clear he was being very lethargic. Normally very active...

Hello, this is my first fish and he has been acting strange lately. Staying near the top of the aquarium and barely moving. I’ve also noticed his lips look extremely swollen and almost appear to be detaching. Is this possibly Columnaris? I did a water change and added some aquarium salt...
